My kids have been chasing Gobblers with me at least 5 years now. We have misses, lost birds, no birds and call shy tons. My son Ethan especially has put in his time.
This year it all came together for him. Im not usually a blind hunter. I hate it. But given the co conditions and camera gear, it was our best option today.
We had Tough conditions. We went from monsoon rain to high wind. A small break came about 7:00 AM. Shortly after Ethan says ? Dad I see one!?
A big gobbler heard my light calling, saw the decoys and cautiously worked his way in to 30 yards, where Ethan took his time, and made the shot count! Awesome limb hanger son! I couldnt be more proud of his first Gobbler.
Thanks to my friend Joe Pio for the great pics.
A little video joe also put together.
